FENET - MULTI-PHYSICS ANALYSIS (MPA) THEME: A REVIEW OF COMMERCIAL MPA CAPABILITY IN 2005
A.K. Slone · 2005
SUMMARY As a part of the FENET Multi-physics analysis (MPA) theme a regular web based survey of the emergence of commercial MPA capability has been carried out. This contribution presents the results of the most recent survey and assessment of the multi-physics capability of the major commercial computer aided engineering (CAE) analysis software technologies is presented. The capability of commercial tools has developed considerably over the last 3 years, both with regard to specialist products and the combination of phenomena specific tools through specialist interfacing software, typically based upon the MpCCI technology. MPA based simulation is very compute intensive and so the challenges associated with achieving scalable parallel implementation are raised.
